Limited slip for front axle??

[MajMike]

Anyone know of a LSD or locker that fits our front axle on my 2016 1500 crewcab 4wd?

Not safe to have a LSD or locker on the front unless it's one that you only engage at low speed for traction if you need it. Look into E-lockers and arb air.

Wouldn't an lsd in the front be similar to quadratrac in the grand Cherokee ?

Mike, not that I know of.

I know most off-roaders would disagree with that safety comment, but as one I do plan to only use it when off-roading and thus at fairly low speed. You're right in that the best bet would be a selectable locker, so as to have the best of both worlds, a locker offroad and an open diff on the road.

Chrysler ZF 215MM IFS Reverse Front

This is the name of our front axle for the 4wd 1500's.

No. Quadratic actually applies braking to the slipping wheel so the wheel with better traction engages. It's still an open diff up front.

My truck has the EBD system, which functions somewhat similarly to the Quadratec system, slowing the spinning wheel.

Apologies, but I meant quadrant drive. You might want to check how it works. It has lsd in front and rear. Either way it's a moot subject for majmike, as I don't believe there is anything for our front did.

I believe you are correct. So, good tires and maybe a selectable replacement for the rear diff. I like the Auburn ECTED, it's a LSD normally then an electric full locker. Plus a winch for when your tires/LSD are overwhelmed.

In my wrangler i just run the standard true Trac. I didn't check, but you may want to do a search on various forums for reviews on Auburn. They don't seem to do well in rams iirc. How ever I don't know what terrain people were running on, Auburn my work well for you in Florida.
